00:00.390 --> 00:02.253
^- Semper Fi.

00:03.599 --> 00:04.615
^- [Crowd] Hoo rah.

00:04.615 --> 00:05.513
(crowd applauding)

00:05.513 --> 00:06.513
^- Do or die.

00:07.290 --> 00:08.870
- I did see Suribachi.

00:08.870 --> 00:11.550
We didn't know it as Suribachi at that time.

00:11.550 --> 00:12.613
We just knew it was

00:12.980 --> 00:13.813
a big hill.

00:15.610 --> 00:18.463
^Once they they put the flag up, on the 23rd of February,

00:19.441 --> 00:20.441
it lifted the spirit

00:21.230 --> 00:22.273
of all of us.

00:24.306 --> 00:27.473
(slow dramatic music)

00:28.800 --> 00:30.113
- It's hallowed ground.

00:33.470 --> 00:35.740
I think this ceremony is a way to honor

00:35.740 --> 00:37.153
those that have gone before.

00:43.500 --> 00:46.530
^Over 26,000 members of both our nations

00:46.980 --> 00:48.430
^perished on this battlefield.

00:49.139 --> 00:52.306
(slow dramatic music)

00:58.020 --> 01:01.080
To remember the fallen, to remember the past

01:01.420 --> 01:03.440
and to project where we've come since then

01:03.440 --> 01:05.540
and how we're moving forward in the future

01:05.550 --> 01:07.700
with an alliance that's stronger than ever.

01:13.980 --> 01:16.897
^(foreign language)

01:27.100 --> 01:27.933
- So

01:27.933 --> 01:29.103
it does have memories,

01:30.010 --> 01:31.173
good ones and bad ones,

01:31.530 --> 01:33.690
but I'm very pleased that I am able

01:34.030 --> 01:35.090
to come back

01:35.390 --> 01:36.423
and revisit.

01:37.514 --> 01:40.681
(slow dramatic music)

01:47.969 --> 01:48.802
- Death

01:49.378 --> 01:50.628
before dishonor

01:51.747 --> 01:53.410
and that is the code

01:55.007 --> 02:00.007
of the United States Marine Corps.
